Two cultural titans will be all over the walls during the Woodstock Film Festival.

The festival is co-sponsoring the photo exhibits "Dylan: The Woodstock Years, 1963-1970" at the Lotus Gallery and "Fear and Loathing in Mexico: Hunter S. Thompson" at the East Village Collective, both in Woodstock and each beginning Oct. 10.

During the late 1960s, Dylan called Woodstock home, and photographer Elliot Landy was there. He took various photos of Dylan with his family, hanging at home and, of course, making music. The most famous of these photos was used as the cover of the album "Nashville Skyline."

Landy's photos will be on display Oct. 10-28 at the Lotus Gallery, Rock City Road, Woodstock. An opening reception will be held from 4-7 p.m. Oct. 13 to coincide with the next day's screening of the Dylan film "I'm Not There." Regular gallery hours are 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Thursday-Saturday and 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Sunday. Call 679-2303.

Down the street, another display of an iconic figure with local connection is taking place. Photographer Al Satterwhite spent a week in Mexico in March 1974 with Hunter S. Thompson. The gonzo journalist, who once worked for the Times Herald-Record, requested that the photographer just hang out and take pictures of whatever Thompson was doing. That's what this exhibit consists of. It's open Oct. 10-Nov. 10 at the East Village Collective, 8 Old Forge Road, Woodstock. An opening reception will be held 6-8 p.m. Oct. 12, and regular gallery hours are noon-6 p.m. Wednesday-Monday. Call 679-2174.
